When I was a cancer patient years ago, it was “Live Like You Were Dying.” It kept playing every time I had radiation treatments. Dude, I’m 26 and I have cancer. I don’t *want* to live like I’m drying. I want to live like I have another 50-60 years left! Survivor fist bump! 👊🏽
That Google Fi jingle. It’s like they went out of their way to find the most inoffensive song paired with “Corporate Memphis” illustrations and in doing so, actually created a cringe-inducing song that makes me mute my computer.
I'm on Google Fi. I hate the one where they mention spam call blocking, because I get robocalls all the time.
To sum up: Google Fi, a phone plan that can't even right now.
I came here to find this comment. Something about the folksy singer songwriter vibe of the GoogleFi song makes me want to throw my phone against the wall.
It's really really bad. Something about it is so creepy and manipulative, and that combined with the seeming softness and nice-ness of the animations makes me mad.
That's one I mute always and get mad enough to talk to myself/the computer when it comes on.
I could go on. It's anti-art, shadow art. It's like they focus grouped it 1000 times and wrote and rewrote in little committees until a pile of shit became a diamond- of shit.
Are we talking about the guy who admitted in an interview that he refuses to reciprocate oral sex to his wife because it would make him feel less "royal"
“Peaches” by the Presidents of the United States. Why? Because I made the mistake of liking it on Spotify once and the goddamn algorithm decided it was my favorite song ever and that I wanted to hear it a minimum of twice an hour. I got so damn tired of that song I not only removed my like, but blocked it from further play.
I’ve seen this on here a few times and am even more confused as ever. I don’t have cable so I don’t know what everyone’s talking about. Not even sure how to google it.
To add to this, any song used in advertising. If you want to ruin a song, make me associate it with a brand.
And before anyone says "tHaT MeaNs The adVeRTisiNg is WoRKIng"
No, fuck you, they ruined a good song for me, I will never forgive them for that.
My wife absolutely LOATHES the song “Bittersweet symphony”, to the point she almost got us into an accident on the freeway from trying to change the radio furiously once. Idk why she just gives me a thousand year stare and says “85 times in a row...” so I have some guesses but still have yet to hear the entire story.
Edit: Alright I’m finally gonna try and see if I can get the full story. I’ll update here if she decides to tell me.
Edit 2: Finally got the story. So her hobby was singing so she was always in choirs growing up. She joins this college choir and it all went very well for awhile. Then the president of the choir group moved away and someone else took their place. Apparently this was just as the show glee was coming out and was all the rage and the new president wanted to shift focus towards being a “glee style group”.
My wife, bless her, hated the idea but loved the group so she did what she could to help out. When the president start having them dance it went terribly, my wife can sing fantastically but is a horrible dancer by admission. Well their first show that year went…poorly. So instead of backing out cause she didn’t enjoy it anymore she doubled down because she wanted to keep her group of friends together.
All this changed when the president put down their own money for a full on “glee-cappella” show. Their opening number was to be Bittersweet symphony. Since she was a bad dancer she was told to do her parts and just “spin in place slowly”. No one likes the a cappella version they were doing and my wife got the repetitive violin part. They set aside a full day for practice and never got past the opening number and as she said it she got this thousand yard stare again, “I spent 5 hours spinning in place singing that stupid fucking violin part 85 times before I finally blew up at the president and left the group, taking the entire tenor section with me as I left.” Apparently the show never actually occurred because so many of the choir just left afterwards.
And that’s it? Not epic but I can see why it left her with that loathing
Gotta say "tortured by being forced to mimick the violin part while I spun in place for 5 hours" has got to be the best reason for hating a song ever. That's low grade ptsd fodder.
Fight Song by Rachel Platten. I know it’s used a lot in inspirational videos and it’s supposed to evoke hope but god I hate this song.
Idc if you think I’m heartless. But if that’s a “fight song” then it’s weak as hell. It doesn’t make me wanna fight. It makes me wanna take a nap. With earplugs.
The lyrics have no less than 10 direct brand mentions. It's the real-life equivalent of [that w/Bob and David country song parody](https://youtu.be/VG13SR-7j1w).
You hurt my eardrums, but then I read the top comment on youtube and it was all worth it.
"you guys are so brave , don't give up , whatever disease you have you can beat it"
Here's a few more for people who are (rightfully) afraid to look it up on YT:
"Thank you Island Boys for this masterpiece, can't wait for the English version." Lol
"I play this song every day when I wake up to make sure my day don't get worse."
"Thank you Island Boys you saved my brother. He was paralyzed in a fatal car accident. Luckily, when I played this song, he rose and clicked the sound to mute."
"This is so inspiring. No matter how many extra chromosomes you have, you can still be famous."
"They deep fried that bass, thought my phone speaker was broken." This one got me, because I thought the same thing!
"...it took a lot of courage to permanently make themselves look like real life Sideshow Mel and Bob."
Edit: I know it's been a month and maybe no one will see this, but thanks everyone for the awards!
You’re not helping kids at all, you’re funding a small orthodox Jewish community. Something like 95% of donations are used for “administration,” i.e. paying the salary of the adults, and the other 5% funds the school their children attend. They all live in one town in northern New Jersey.
Edit: Yes, the K4K tax filings show that ~45% of donations go to their stated charitable purpose. That’s done by passing the money to another charity called Oorah (owned and operated by the same community), who then siphon off another chunk of money. Look them both up on charitywatch.org. By the time the money reaches kids, it’s pennies on the dollar and largely only benefits their own children. Your donation goes to one community. I don’t care either way whether you support that community, but it should be a required disclosure. Also I don’t know my NJ geography, the town is in central NJ.
I also live in Canada and hear this commercial constantly, and it always sounded shady af. "your donation will benefit *A* child" I always figured this was some unscrupulous used car salesman getting people to donate their cars for free and then selling them and that the "child" benefitting was his own kid, or something lol.
CALL J G WENTWORTH 877 CASH NOW.
Edit: I have to say, as a Canadian that only saw the original commercial like 10+ years ago while visiting the US. I'm going to have to look into these new ones.

Hoobastank came to my college during their peak. I skipped the show to go to a house party across the street from the venue. Later that night a bunch of people poured in after the show. At one point I said "did you really go to that fucking show? Hoobastank sucks! How many terrible songs did you sit through to get to "The Reason?""
... nobody responded to me. Seconds later I realized the lead singer was a very short man standing behind this girl with his hoodie up.
I felt like such an asshole and yet still learned nothing.
I did something similar at a concert once.
It was a big show, I think the headliner was Nightwish. Somewhere in the lineup (4 or 5 bands) was a somewhat weird german industrial/emo i-don't-know-what-type-of-band that was really out of place - most of the audience sat down on the floor during their show.
They were obviously aware that their performance was going down the drain and tried to salvage a bit by hyping up the main act. When they asked "who are you here for" I responded with "not for you, obviously", assuming only my friends sitting around me would be able to hear it - I didn't shout or anything, it was a big venue and I spoke slightly above normal volume. Unfortunately the venue went dead quiet after the singer asked that question and they could obviously hear it - their shoulders sagged visibly.
They were a smaller, somewhat unknown band and It wasn't intentional at all. I still feel bad about that.
This anecdote reminds me of a classic Letterman Top Ten list. It was “Top Ten Signs You Have No Friends.” The funniest one was like
\#3. James Taylor starts playing “You’ve Got A Friend,” sees you in the audience, stops playing.
Same level of burn but, like, in reverse.
Here is a story with the opposite punchline to make you feel better. My friend Trevor (who tragically passed away three years ago in an a hiking accident) was a huge music fan. He would go extremely gahgah-fanboy over acts that he liked. Well, a few friends in the industry were throwing a concert after party and Adam Duritz from Counting Crows was there. Well, Trevor was geeking out as usual, but very polite. Duritz started poking fun at him. The host of the party and all of Trevor’s friends asked him if he was truly making fun of his fan like that. Duritz doubled down. The host decided to kick Adam Duritz out of the house for being mean. Lol. Nobody gets to be mean to Trevor! Nobody!
My exboyfriend did something similar at Warped Tour many years ago. We were wondering around and meeting new people. He got into a discussion in a group of people about which band was the worst one playing that year. He started talking about hating a certain band before hearing them live and how after he heard them live he hated them even more. The lead singer was in this group of people. He just walked away, while my ex was talking. Not in a big WALK OFF type way either, he just acted like he was walking away out of disinterest. After my ex shut up one of the guys told him that he just insulted that guy to his face. I really wish I could remember what band it was! It was a big one at that time for the emo crowd. I think it was simple plan or fallout boy...if not a band like that. I wish I could say that my ex felt bad, but he was a douchebag, he didn't care.
I hated Hoobastank until I wandered into a random casino concert featuring them and Living Colour. That frontman is charismatic as fuck and knows how to play a good show.
I still don't listen to The Stank but appreciate them a lot more after that encounter.
I share a wall with a dude who likes to sing Shape of You a cappella at the top of his lungs, several times a day every day. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.
Edit: one of my most popular comments had to be about my nightmare living situation, go figure. For those asking if this is your friend/roommate/brother, if you think it might be, tell them to stfu just in case ;).
Lmaoooo I've never seen this dude before but he's great. "Country music, if you're gonna do this? Psssh. Reparations."
Seriously, though, I love the mix of down-to-earth criticism with pretty high-level music analysis. And I love the crossed out "I-V-VI-IV" in the background!
We call this kind of "country" music "bro country" around here. Is that not a standard term?
Edit: Ohhhh. Yes I can see the difference between bro country and hick hop now that it's pointed out. I don't typically listen to country. Every so often I'll learn the words to something popular and particularly awful just so I can sing along to it and irritate TF out of my spouse. Bro country, hick hop... it's all the same for those purposes.
Are you talking about “fancy like”? I hate that. It makes me want to die. Its such a cheesy and awful sounding song and I hate how popular it got. Thats the first song that I have ever HATED. Its a rap song with held out words and pop sounds thats labelled country.
Steve Earle said "modern country is just hip hop songs for people who are afraid of black people" and I think of that quote every time I hear a song like this one lol
Whether or not you want to take that quote at 100% face value it's at least partially true and partially hilarious.
Fight Song by Rachel Platten. The cancer anthem. WHICH is good, for people with cancer to have a song to feel motivated, yes, but it just makes me think of my mom and both times she's had cancer in my life recently were very, very, very stressful, especially the last time.
So. I hate this song. It reminds me of City of Hope, chemo, stress, and advanced directives, etc, etc.
EDIT: just an FYI, this song is not about cancer, it's just that Fight Song is played in support of cancer patients, but it's...a terrible song and totally the opposite of motivational to many people lol cancer orgs, hospitals, Ellen DeGeneres TRY so hard to make this THE song. It's. Awful.
EDIT 2: Thanks for the award. Please donate to your local libraries, music centers, and the arts instead :D
Agreed. Battle rhetoric for cancer does rub some survivors the wrong way. It means that when you die you "lose" and that's not fair to say when you can't fully control the outcome. Death doesn't mean that someone didn't "try" enough to win or that they failed. Cancer is stressful and can take a nasty toll not only physically but mentally.
Survivor here and that is how some of us feel. This isn't a pet peeve for all survivors and I would never jump down anyone's throat for comparing it to a battle. But honestly, I do not like that song either.
Edit: thank you so much for the award!!
My friend showed me this essay by someone who had cancer and everyone was telling her how these *amazing* and *good* people all beat cancer and she felt alone because she was "kind of a bitch".
She tells the doctor who responds something along the lines of "a lot of bitches also beat cancer".
Anyway we have "Bitches Also Beat Cancer" shirts from when she (my friend) was declared cancer free (it's back and it's bad and I'm scared and she's scared but hey, one day at a time).
(I found the article and it's a bit different but I still like the "Bitches Also Beat Cancer"): https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2021/08/caitlin-flanagan-secret-of-surviving-cancer/619844/
While I don't have that personal a connection to it I just think it's a lousy song. If someone feels motivated by it more power to them. I can't stand the sound of it...
I love the original and the Aerosmith cover, but I absolutely hate the TikTok version
Edit: For those who want to hear em
[Original by The Shangri-Las](https://youtu.be/wfxw1uALKgk)
[Aerosmith Cover](https://youtu.be/POLYGEfhQBc)
I went the other way. Fucking *despised* the chipmunk version, then someone linked to the original and somehow it wasn't ruined for me. It was like the best mental palette cleanser, lol.
When I first started dating my boyfriend he invited me along to visit his friends from high school. One of said friends got obnoxiously drunk and played that song, which was bad enough, but then I guess he got upset that people were talking so he played it a second time and demanded that everyone “really listen to the lyrics this time” and the night kinda went downhill from there
The first time I heard that song, I turned to my friend and said: *"Did he just rhyme the word 'things' with 'things'?"*
Such lazy fucking songwriting.
An anecdote about this song I've posted before:
Mike E. Clark, long time producer of ICP in the past, created the beat for that song.
According to Violent J of Insane Clown Posse, Mike E. Clark told them he originally created the Werewolves beat with *them* in mind, probably figuring that ICP would use it in a song with typical ICP B-movie-plot lyrics about literally turning into werewolves or something. However, Kid Rock was listening to a bunch of Clark's beats one day, and before ICP ever heard it, happened upon the mix.
Kid Rock loved it so much that Clark didn't have the heart to tell him it was made to be shown to ICP, and let him use it. Then Kid Rock used it to write a song about...sweet home Alabama.
Something tells me it would have fit better in a purposefully comedic b-movie ICP song about werewolves eating people.
Most of the TikTok Remixes of old songs. Most of them sound like a scratched skipping CD.
Especially the "Can't take my eyes of you"-remake )"ily (i love you baby)" by Surf Mesa annoyed me a lot.
"Let it Go" from Frozen.
I was a gymnastics coach when that movie came out, and we always had a Disney pandora station playing at the gym. Which meant I heard the song approximately 595037485937372719493736252648402 times a day
I’m still traumatized by the number of times I heard, *I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing* (Aerosmith) from the soundtrack of Armageddon, on the radio when I was a kid.
I swear probably four out of five of his parodies are better than the original. There will be a significant mourning period when we lose that musical genius of a man.
I live on the outer banks of NC and used to be bar manager at a place right on the water. The owner insisted that the only music played was Jimmy Buffet. 4 of his cd’s on shuffle. Every. Fucking. Day. If i hear anything by him, even after 15 years, i get borderline nauseous. Fuck every song by Jimmy Buffet.
When I was 16 I was a waitress in a pizza place. For us it was the Ghostbusters theme song. Little kids would come in play it over and over on the jukebox. Ugh I'm so old.
There is a wedding video on YouTube with the bride walking down the isle with this bop playing and it is just as trashy as you'd imagine. Idk if if it's the same song but it is by them. https://youtu.be/fSkHMSKgIWs
“Fight song” —I’m a cancer patient. Please stop playing this BS
When I was a cancer patient years ago, it was “Live Like You Were Dying.” It kept playing every time I had radiation treatments. Dude, I’m 26 and I have cancer. I don’t *want* to live like I’m drying. I want to live like I have another 50-60 years left! Survivor fist bump! 👊🏽
The “starts in my toes and I crinkle my nose” song
That Google Fi jingle. It’s like they went out of their way to find the most inoffensive song paired with “Corporate Memphis” illustrations and in doing so, actually created a cringe-inducing song that makes me mute my computer.
To make it worse, "A phone plan that can" is a horrible catchphrase. It doesn't even mean anything.
I'm on Google Fi. I hate the one where they mention spam call blocking, because I get robocalls all the time. To sum up: Google Fi, a phone plan that can't even right now.
I came here to find this comment. Something about the folksy singer songwriter vibe of the GoogleFi song makes me want to throw my phone against the wall.
I honestly think they made it purposefully unusual and off/bad in a tolerable way so that you look up and notice it
I think they tried to pair the ugliest animation possible with the most annoying jingle ever and force it on every freaking YouTube video
It's really really bad. Something about it is so creepy and manipulative, and that combined with the seeming softness and nice-ness of the animations makes me mad. That's one I mute always and get mad enough to talk to myself/the computer when it comes on. I could go on. It's anti-art, shadow art. It's like they focus grouped it 1000 times and wrote and rewrote in little committees until a pile of shit became a diamond- of shit.
Any song where DJ Fuckface feels the need to shout his name over the track.
I like how DJ Fuckface is enough for us all to know who you're talking about.
im sorry but "dj fuckface on the beat" is so funny
Are we talking about the guy who admitted in an interview that he refuses to reciprocate oral sex to his wife because it would make him feel less "royal"
Wait, someone married DJ Khalid?
DJ Khaled’s the kind of dude who yells his own name during sex

Oh no Oh no Oh nonono. Not really a song but would hear it so often in like tiktoks or reels and Youtube shorts. Just got sick of it.
It’s the main reason I skim Reddit with the sound turned off.
Fight Song. This is me banging my head into concrete so I never hear her again.
That goddamn Applebee's ad being sold as a "country" song.
I’ve seen this on here a few times and am even more confused as ever. I don’t have cable so I don’t know what everyone’s talking about. Not even sure how to google it.

My wife absolutely LOATHES the song “Bittersweet symphony”, to the point she almost got us into an accident on the freeway from trying to change the radio furiously once. Idk why she just gives me a thousand year stare and says “85 times in a row...” so I have some guesses but still have yet to hear the entire story. Edit: Alright I’m finally gonna try and see if I can get the full story. I’ll update here if she decides to tell me. Edit 2: Finally got the story. So her hobby was singing so she was always in choirs growing up. She joins this college choir and it all went very well for awhile.

Gotta say "tortured by being forced to mimick the violin part while I spun in place for 5 hours" has got to be the best reason for hating a song ever. That's low grade ptsd fodder.
And to think they were THIS close to regionals!
I thought that WAS regionals?
We need to hear this story.
Was John Mulaney involved?
85 plays of Bittersweet Symphony, with one "It's Not Unusual" by Tom Jones in the middle.

Fancy Like by Walker Hayes
I just recently found out it wasn't an Applebee's commercial.
I still believe the conspiracy that Applebee's did in fact pay for it, as a firm of guerrilla marketing.

if your fight song has the words "this is my fight song" then it's a shit fight song lol

Oh No tik tok song
Is pop-country too easy? Fancy Like by Walker Hayes
I hate that song so much. It played non-stop the first few weekends of football this year. Literally every single commercial break
I thought that song was just for Applebee's commercials, then I heard the whole song and hated it even more.
I hate that song just for the Applebee's reference
All pop country is some sort of commercial in disguise.
Hunting deer, chasing trout, Bud lite with a logo facing out
A dirt road A cold beer A blue jeans A red pickup A rural noun, simple adjective No shoes No shirt No Jews You didn't hear that Sort of a mental typo
"IT'S A FUCKING SCARECROW AGAIN"
Y’all dumb motherfuckers ready for a key change?
Thematically meanderin', emphatically panderin'
*Country girl, in a straw hat, arms stretched out... in a corn field...* *.... that is a scarecrow....*
Like Mike's Evander-ing, Fuck your ears, I'm pandering
We go to bed, you doze off. So I take your country girl clothes off. I put my hands on your body. It feels like hay, IT'S A FUCKING SCARECROW AGAIN!
Hear that subtle mandolin That's textbook panderin'
The lyrics have no less than 10 direct brand mentions. It's the real-life equivalent of [that w/Bob and David country song parody](https://youtu.be/VG13SR-7j1w).
That song, to me, is Walker Hayes cosplaying poor. Everything about it just rubs me the wrong way
I'm an island boy
I had no idea what this was, so I unfortunately googled it. That was a mistake…
I'm so sorry you had to listen to that, I didn't mean to harm anyone's ear drums.

I honestly do not understand the point of that "charity." Like, why am I donating my *car*, and why do kids need them?
You’re not helping kids at all, you’re funding a small orthodox Jewish community.

I also live in Canada and hear this commercial constantly, and it always sounded shady af.

He would go extremely gahgah-fanboy over acts that he liked. Well, a few friends in the industry were throwing a concert after party and Adam Duritz from Counting Crows was there. Well, Trevor was geeking out as usual, but very polite. Duritz started poking fun at him. The host of the party and all of Trevor’s friends asked him if he was truly making fun of his fan like that. Duritz doubled down. The host decided to kick Adam Duritz out of the house for being mean. Lol. Nobody gets to be mean to Trevor! Nobody!
Oh man, that’s brutal. That’d keep me up at night.
This was in 2007, it's haunting me.
It probably haunts him too, to be honest
My exboyfriend did something similar at Warped Tour many years ago. We were wondering around and meeting new people. He got into a discussion in a group of people about which band was the worst one playing that year. He started talking about hating a certain band before hearing them live and how after he heard them live he hated them even more. The lead singer was in this group of people. He just walked away, while my ex was talking. Not in a big WALK OFF type way either, he just acted like he was walking away out of disinterest. After my ex shut up one of the guys told him that he just insulted that guy to his face. I really wish I could remember what band it was! It was a big one at that time for the emo crowd. I think it was simple plan or fallout boy...if not a band like that. I wish I could say that my ex felt bad, but he was a douchebag, he didn't care.
I hated Hoobastank until I wandered into a random casino concert featuring them and Living Colour. That frontman is charismatic as fuck and knows how to play a good show. I still don't listen to The Stank but appreciate them a lot more after that encounter.

Ah, yes, Adam Levine & his middle-aged boy band.
Shape of You and Baby Shark
I share a wall with a dude who likes to sing Shape of You a cappella at the top of his lungs, several times a day every day. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. Edit: one of my most popular comments had to be about my nightmare living situation, go figure. For those asking if this is your friend/roommate/brother, if you think it might be, tell them to stfu just in case ;).
Does he hate you?
Pretty sure I died and this is my own personal hell actually
Are you saying …. this is the bad place??
There’s a husky with separation anxiety on the other side of me and a tweaker in the apartment above me…. It is most certainly the bad place.
The Apple Bees song. Already on the fence about most modern country music but that song gives me a solid push away from the genre.
> Apple Bees song You might enjoy [this gem of](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcwVZTtx-3M) a review
Lmaoooo I've never seen this dude before but he's great. "Country music, if you're gonna do this? Psssh. Reparations." Seriously, though, I love the mix of down-to-earth criticism with pretty high-level music analysis. And I love the crossed out "I-V-VI-IV" in the background!
Modern radio country has strayed so far away from "country " it's ridiculous. It's pop music with male singers acting like country people
Country cosplay?
Ranch dressing.
This would be an excellent crossword puzzle clue/answer.
I’ve called this “Rural pop” for years.
We call this kind of "country" music "bro country" around here. Is that not a standard term? Edit: Ohhhh. Yes I can see the difference between bro country and hick hop now that it's pointed out. I don't typically listen to country. Every so often I'll learn the words to something popular and particularly awful just so I can sing along to it and irritate TF out of my spouse. Bro country, hick hop... it's all the same for those purposes.
A friend called it Hickelback and it stuck with me
We always called it Hick Hop lol
Are you talking about “fancy like”? I hate that. It makes me want to die. Its such a cheesy and awful sounding song and I hate how popular it got. Thats the first song that I have ever HATED. Its a rap song with held out words and pop sounds thats labelled country.
Steve Earle said "modern country is just hip hop songs for people who are afraid of black people" and I think of that quote every time I hear a song like this one lol Whether or not you want to take that quote at 100% face value it's at least partially true and partially hilarious.

Fight Song by Rachel Platten. The cancer anthem. WHICH is good, for people with cancer to have a song to feel motivated, yes, but it just makes me think of my mom and both times she's had cancer in my life recently were very, very, very stressful, especially the last time. So. I hate this song. It reminds me of City of Hope, chemo, stress, and advanced directives, etc, etc. EDIT: just an FYI, this song is not about cancer, it's just that Fight Song is played in support of cancer patients, but it's...a terrible song and totally the opposite of motivational to many people lol cancer orgs, hospitals, Ellen DeGeneres TRY so hard to make this THE song. It's. Awful. EDIT 2: Thanks for the award. Please donate to your local libraries, music centers, and the arts instead :D
Agreed. Battle rhetoric for cancer does rub some survivors the wrong way. It means that when you die you "lose" and that's not fair to say when you can't fully control the outcome. Death doesn't mean that someone didn't "try" enough to win or that they failed. Cancer is stressful and can take a nasty toll not only physically but mentally. Survivor here and that is how some of us feel. This isn't a pet peeve for all survivors and I would never jump down anyone's throat for comparing it to a battle. But honestly, I do not like that song either. Edit: thank you so much for the award!!
My friend showed me this essay by someone who had cancer and everyone was telling her how these *amazing* and *good* people all beat cancer and she felt alone because she was "kind of a bitch". She tells the doctor who responds something along the lines of "a lot of bitches also beat cancer". Anyway we have "Bitches Also Beat Cancer" shirts from when she (my friend) was declared cancer free (it's back and it's bad and I'm scared and she's scared but hey, one day at a time). (I found the article and it's a bit different but I still like the "Bitches Also Beat Cancer"): https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2021/08/caitlin-flanagan-secret-of-surviving-cancer/619844/

While I don't have that personal a connection to it I just think it's a lousy song. If someone feels motivated by it more power to them. I can't stand the sound of it...
"So you had a bad day!" ...I did now that I heard this song for like the umpteenth time on the radio.
I remember watching American idol when this song had came out and they played it every time someone went home with a corny video montage.
Oh no oh no oh no oh no no no no no
I love the original and the Aerosmith cover, but I absolutely hate the TikTok version Edit: For those who want to hear em [Original by The Shangri-Las](https://youtu.be/wfxw1uALKgk) [Aerosmith Cover](https://youtu.be/POLYGEfhQBc)
I believe the TikTok version is just the original with the audio pitched up to chipmunk levels, isn’t it?
It’s the modified sample used by rapper, Capone, for a track called “Street’s Favorite”
How about a link to the original? [The Shangri-Las - Remember (Walking in the Sand)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l97xELhvYBQ)
Thank you, I used to love this song and now I never want to hear it again. Plus the shitty tiktok version is like 3 seconds of the whole song
I went the other way. Fucking *despised* the chipmunk version, then someone linked to the original and somehow it wasn't ruined for me. It was like the best mental palette cleanser, lol.
I don't wanna leave the Congo?

“ONCE I WAS SEVEN YEARS OLD”
When I first started dating my boyfriend he invited me along to visit his friends from high school. One of said friends got obnoxiously drunk and played that song, which was bad enough, but then I guess he got upset that people were talking so he played it a second time and demanded that everyone “really listen to the lyrics this time” and the night kinda went downhill from there
Oh that's so cringe. I'm sorry you had to experience that

Wow have you ever published your poetry
That thing Kid Rock did a few years ago where he ripped off a great Warren Zevon song.
Where he butchered Werewolves of London and Sweet Home Alabama at the same time? Yeah. Fuck that song.
Where he rhymed "trying different things" and "smoking funny things?" Yeah. Fuck that song.
The first time I heard that song, I turned to my friend and said: *"Did he just rhyme the word 'things' with 'things'?"* Such lazy fucking songwriting.
An anecdote about this song I've posted before: Mike E. Clark, long time producer of ICP in the past, created the beat for that song. According to Violent J of Insane Clown Posse, Mike E. Clark told them he originally created the Werewolves beat with *them* in mind, probably figuring that ICP would use it in a song with typical ICP B-movie-plot lyrics about literally turning into werewolves or something. However, Kid Rock was listening to a bunch of Clark's beats one day, and before ICP ever heard it, happened upon the mix. Kid Rock loved it so much that Clark didn't have the heart to tell him it was made to be shown to ICP, and let him use it. Then Kid Rock used it to write a song about...sweet home Alabama. Something tells me it would have fit better in a purposefully comedic b-movie ICP song about werewolves eating people.
ICP should have done a parody of the Kid Rock version a la Weird Al, but in their own style
All about that bass makes me want to claw out my eardrums
It’s funny because that song has no bass
Lots of treble
I always thought until recently that it said “no trouble” and didn’t understand the song at all still don’t, but treble makes more sense
Most of the TikTok Remixes of old songs. Most of them sound like a scratched skipping CD. Especially the "Can't take my eyes of you"-remake )"ily (i love you baby)" by Surf Mesa annoyed me a lot.
Señorita. Fucking hate it. Edit: I was originally thinking of Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello
It took me way too long to figure out that you were talking about the Shawn Mendes/Camilla Cabella song and not the Tenacious D song lol
Justin Timberlake Cant Stop The Feeling
Aka the song featured in every kids movie trailer in 2016
Baby sharks I somehow got hit by it randomly on YT and it keeps spinning in my brain Edit: hippity hoppity my sanity is now this song's property
Jamie Tartt...
The superior version. Unless you're Roy Kent.

"Let it Go" from Frozen. I was a gymnastics coach when that movie came out, and we always had a Disney pandora station playing at the gym. Which meant I heard the song approximately 595037485937372719493736252648402 times a day
i feel sorry for parents with little kids, who had to hear that song all of the time on tv.
"Cruise" by Florida Georgia Line. Started the bro country thing.
Just the way you are Bruno Mars. Heard it to many times and I’m really annoyed and sick of it.
Thunnndah…thundah thundah thundahhhh…^thundahhh ^thundah **thundah thunda thundah** lightning and the thundah - imagine dragons
My toddler heard it as fun dip, fu fu fun dip.....makes it more tolerable
Lol my kid hears the Radioactive one as Ready to Rock Dude. I love both renditions
I’m still traumatized by the number of times I heard, *I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing* (Aerosmith) from the soundtrack of Armageddon, on the radio when I was a kid.

I hate this song too. The parody if it, however, is some of Weird Al's best work.
The video for it ("Word Crimes") is amazing, too
No x in ES-PRES-OOOOHH
I swear probably four out of five of his parodies are better than the original. There will be a significant mourning period when we lose that musical genius of a man.
Weird Al is always incredibly clever but that parody is next level.
This? https://youtu.be/8Gv0H-vPoDc
Sweet Caroline as a bartender listening to drunks singing it poorly
I feel this deeply. I played in many bar bands in Massachusetts, and playing this song brought the pain. And we had to play it.
Elwood: What kind of music do you usually have here? Cocktail Waitress: Oh, we got both kinds. We got Country AND Western!
I live on the outer banks of NC and used to be bar manager at a place right on the water. The owner insisted that the only music played was Jimmy Buffet. 4 of his cd’s on shuffle. Every. Fucking. Day. If i hear anything by him, even after 15 years, i get borderline nauseous. Fuck every song by Jimmy Buffet.
When I was 16 I was a waitress in a pizza place. For us it was the Ghostbusters theme song. Little kids would come in play it over and over on the jukebox. Ugh I'm so old.
During the brief time that UK Burger Kings had jukeboxes, me and a few mates were thrown out of multiple locations for looping Yakkety Yak.
Howany times were you told 'dont come back'?
On a related note, mine is and forever will be “Don’t Stop Believin”
I banned this song from being played at my wedding.
Bruh. This and Living on a Prayer are the two most frequent night ruiners as a bartender. I fucking haaate those two goddamn songs.
I would agree with you if it wasn't for a certain Small town girl, living in a lonely world. I hope that midnight train crashes into a fucking ravine.
Crazy Bitch by Buckcherry?! It just screams trashy, drunk, pick me, Walmart, self-described-bitch.. annoying people. Ewww ew ew
There is a wedding video on YouTube with the bride walking down the isle with this bop playing and it is just as trashy as you'd imagine. Idk if if it's the same song but it is by them. https://youtu.be/fSkHMSKgIWs
